Vaporesso cCell Coil Problems

[Faheem777]

Hi Guys

Has anybody else been having problems with these coils lately? I recently purchased a 5pack of the 1.4ohm MTL coils and for the first 3/4 days it's amazing thereafter loses flavor and I only get dry hits. Is there something wrong that I am doing? I believe these coils were meant to last close to a month? I have tested with different flavors and still get the same problem.

Can anyone suggest an alternate coil that I can use for MTL hits? The device that I am using is the Vaporesso Target Mini.

Any assistance will be much appreciated

slmz bro , i have been using the target mini for the past 2weeks now with the dl coil and no issues yet. pure clean flavour on every draw.
are you priming the coil properly ?

When you find the flavour dropping with a dry hit release the top juice fill cap and see if you get bubbles coming from the coil... if you do then you are suffering from the dreaded airlock issue that the cCell coils suffer from in most tanks other than the Melo 3 Mini for some reason. If you do have the airlock problem then leave your top cap a little loose.

Wslm bro

I'm quite sure I am priming it correctly, the process I follow is about 5 drops in the middle, fill up the tank, take a few dry hits, wait a while, fire and blow. Do you have another way of doing it?

sounds about right , try what @Rob Fisher said. he has been using ceramics since forever !

Thanks Rob,

I did notice about 5mins ago air bubbles coming from the coil. Will try loosening the top cap and hopefully it fixes the problem. When these coils do work the flavor is amazing!

Do you have any suggestions of alternate coils that I could use?

The top cap on our device would be the child lock thing or the ring that controls the airflow? Forgive me stupidity

 

[shabbar]

ring for airflow , just open it as you would for filling and see for any bubbles

hello there @Faheem777 ..other coils to try ,, I believe the coils for the atlantis , the triton and the melo3 are all interchangeable aswell as the cCell ceramics that you seem to have no luck with ,,,I will be receiving my cCell 0.2 Ni ceramic coils this weekend I hope to have success with em wen I pop them into my melo3 ,, the std melo3 , 0.3 ohm kanthal coil was really impressive in regards to flavour and clouds and lasted about 2 weeks +-60ml of juice then I pushed it to 50w and it died ,, so I have a reference point to compare the cCell to will post my noob findings once I have checked it out

From @Faheem777's avatar picture he is using the Guardian tank, which is top airflow and not compatible with the coils you mention as far as I know.

Correct, I am using the Guardian tank.

I do definitely have the airlock problem as mentioned by @Rob Fisher. Left the top cap loose but still flavorless on a 4day old coil

You could give it a bit of a dry burn and then clean out the inside of the coil with a pipe cleaner or such.

 

[CloudmanJHB]

I still have an issue here and there and Robs advise on works a charm. I loosing the tank around the glass a little wait for the bubbles and things are 100% again.

Painful but it works !

thanks,didn't know ceramics could be dry burned.

 

[CloudmanJHB]

I don't think the ccells can dry burn they still have cotton in the ceramic but I may be wrong

haven't had any problems with dry hits and flavour loss as yet, holding thumbs

Nope I haven't found a coil to match the cCell I'm afraid... in the Melo 3 Mini they are about 98% perfect all the time.

besides the cCell what other coils fit the guardian

None that I know of... it's a very specific coil.

ahemmmm..apollogies..... noob status successfully earned........

Spoke to the guys at Sirvape and they have confirmed no other alternative for the guardian tank. I'm thinking of getting a melo 3 mini tank as a solution should these coils still be problematic.

You are correct, you should not dry burn cCell coils. They have a thin cotton wrap that is to prevent flooding the ceramic cup I imagine.

Still can't understand exactly why all the tanks you folks have air lock issues with when none of those same tanks ever air locked on me a single time. Some less than perfect gear shipped to SA maybe, operator error of some kind maybe, or ??? After the false start with the first of the cCells I didn't even bother with priming the coils other than taking a couple of no power pulls on them.

Luck of the draw I guess... I also have still never had a single .9Ω cCell dud, and all of mine have lasted for a very long time. In fact I have only replaced just 2 of the original cCells I started with months ago maybe 3 weeks ago or so. And that only because the liquids those two ran were finally enough gunked up to degrade the flavor. Long lungs hits at 30W and hundreds of tank refills on every cCell so far, in part maybe because they each always run the some liquid. I also didn't run them 24/7, just included some of them in my daily rotations with other gear (mostly Avocado's on the TC mods and some of my Reos). My top cCell tanks were the Melo III tanks that replaced all the Vaporesso Target and Gemini tanks. One Gemini is even still new in a sealed box as it came about the same time my first Melo tanks came.

Its actually quite refreshing to hear that atleast one person hasnt had any issues with a vaporesso 0.9ccell in particular, im not sure how relevant this might be, but my solution to the vaporesso problems is the joyetech ultimo tank. Flavour and vapour absolutely on point. I am blown away with this commercial tank and finally satisfied with a commercial tank that takes ceramic coils and works!

The Ultimo tank was my hope for Utopia... but the stupid drip tip almost kills it for me... but I persevered and the first couple days the flavour was really good and almost as good as the cCell... but... all of a sardine the coil flavour disappears... the coils just don't last.

I said all along that my cCells all being from the same later production run number than those sent to SA was their biggest bonus. But I can't help but think that the other issues, especially all the air locks in tanks, was never a problem for me because of the routine I followed with every tank when brand new. Vaporesso coils included with the tanks were tossed aside and not used at all. I installed those I bought elsewhere instead tight into the base, then the chimney when assembling the tank, filled, did a couple of no power pulls to prime and vaped away with never a dry hit. IOW, those that used the included coils in new tanks it seems always had airlocks with them, AND still had airlocks in those tanks they had been used in even after replacing them with new coils bought elsewhere.
